Relating this to what the Bible says, both Old
and New Testament believers had a recognition of sin and of guilt
and about punishment being actually deserved. They also had a recognition
about the need of a sacrifice and that faith was to be placed in
the sacrifice. The difference is, the believers in the Old Testament
looked forward to when the full and final payment would be
made, whereas New Testament believers look back to when the
Messiah actually made the payment. Their trust is in the final payment,
whereas the Old Testament believers trusted in the temporary ones,
the sacrifices.
